Time Tracking preferences
Time tracking preferences set up how time tracking works in QuickBooks.
1 Choose QuickBooks > Preferences.
2 On the Preferences pane, select Time Tracking.
3 Set the preferences described below.
4 Close the Preferences window.
Note: If you'd like to use the free QuickBooks-integrated application My Time, turn on time tracking and then
download your copy of My Time.
• Keep track of time. Turns on time tracking in your company file. Track your time and/or your employee's time
by entering hours worked on weekly timesheets or single activity entry forms (you can use the two forms
interchangeably). You can also assign time to particular customers or jobs, bill hours back to your customers,
and create time reports that show how your company allocates and uses time. You'll see time tracking items on
the Employees menu, a Timesheet button on the toolbar, and four time-related reports on the Jobs & Time
submenu of the Reports menu.
• First day of work week. Sets the first day of your company's work week. For example, if you choose
Wednesday, your timesheets will show all workweeks as beginning on Wednesday and ending on Tuesday.
• 'Record Time' button opens. Sets what happens when you click Record Time.
o Single activity. As you enter single activity entries for a person, QuickBooks also records the entries on that
person's weekly timesheet. To view an employee's weekly timesheet, click Timesheet in the Single Activity
window.
o Weekly timesheet. To display a single activity entry form when you are viewing a weekly timesheet, follow
these steps:
1 In the timesheet, find the column for the day for which you want to display a single activity record.
2 In that column, find the row where the customer:job and service item are correct for the activity. Click
that row in the column.
3 Click Edit Activity.
Toolbar preferences
Toolbar preferences is where you specify whether or not you want to see the Toolbar (the strip of icons on the left).
1 Choose QuickBooks > Preferences.
2 On the Preferences pane, select Toolbar.
